Yuvraj Singh, the former Indian cricket great, recently voiced his strong support for Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma, stating that both players deserve a World Cup victory. In a candid interview with PTI, Yuvraj emphasized the significance of these two seasoned cricketers in the Indian team and urged everyone to give their all on the world stage.

Here's what Yuvraj Singh said:

"I feel that Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma deserve a World Cup. So, everyone needs to put their body on the line for such a big stage". 

Yuvraj's sentiment reflects the broader cricketing community's acknowledgment of the exceptional talent and dedication that Kohli and Sharma bring to the table. Despite numerous accolades in their careers, a World Cup win has eluded players for so long now, which has only intensified their hunger for success. Although, Virat Kohli did win the 2011 World Cup, Rohit Sharma is yet to hold the gazetted trophy.
